SELinuxContext, ApparmorProfile, SmackProcessLabel, Service (in .socket
units), User, or Group, refuse to load the unit. If the config stanza

pretty likely that it'll do something unexpected (like write files
in a wrong place, or with a wrong context, or run with wrong permissions,
etc). It seems better to refuse to start the unit and have the admin
clean up the configuration without giving the service a chance to mess
up stuff.
